Porter Appointed to South Africa

THE General Conference Committee has invited Elder R. C. Porter, of the Southwestern Union, to take the presidency of the South African Union Conference, releasing Elder W. S. Hyatt, who has held that position for quite a number of years. Brother and Sister Porter have accepted the appointment to Africa, and expect soon to be on their way to that field. They were advised to go by way of the Pacific, in order to catch a brief glimpse of the work in Honolulu, Fiji, and Australia, the western route being a very direct one to South Africa.
